Minecraft Myths! The Community's Word on a Story-less Game
I have made this topic for us to share our myths about the multitudes of mysteries in Minecraft. All of this is just for fun and is in no way something that is trying to discover Minecraft's actual storyline(because it doesn't have one).
If you want to share your myths, just state what the myths topic and explain.
Here are some of my myths.
Pig Riding?
It's odd that your Minecraft character doesn't mind riding a top of a pig. Here is the reason. In the past, man and pigmen were a species that showed high animosity toward each other. Man loved to tease at the pigmen in multiple ways, especially about them being athropomorphic pigs. No one quite knew why, but both a species of normal pigs and the pigmen exist. It was a common racial joke that men, children, even women would ride pigs to show that both of the species were nothing but filthy beasts of burden. Horses and donkeys were mostly bred and captured by pigmen, so it was rare for man to find them. Eventually, pig riding was something common, as pigs were more common, cheaper, effecient, and easily tammable compared to horses. Although many men claimed horses to be better, pigs became the norm.
Zombies, Spiders, Skeletons!.... exploding green things?
Each mob in Minecraft is pretty generic. Brain craving zombies. Giant hostile spiders. Archer Skeletons. But one of them is just not like the other... one of them just isn't a stereotypical mob... creepers... what are they? A realist would say "A suicidal creature of the sort". A literalist would say "An exploding green creature in Minecraft". But really, What are they?
Creepers are large green lizards, mutated from a former species. They do not have have scales, but rather a very thick and dry skin. Through their mutation their livers turned into chemical sacs that collects many reactive chimicals. The liver through the mutation infused with the creature's larnyx. Whenever the creature speaks, air is blown into the liver, and phosphorus collected in the sac will react, causing the creature to unleash a deadly explosion. The creature is actually peaceful, and means no harm, but when it sees you, it wants to talk to you...
I've trained in necromancy, now to bring you back!
Why do the trees grow so fast?
There once was a man who planted thousands of saplings. Years and years past, and none of them grew. One day,One of the trees started a race (Long story short, plants can apparently talk now) to see who grew the fastest. Two trees grew a few minutes later at the same time, so they restarted. From this point on, the race still continues, and that is why trees grow so fast.

Minor dupstep... Doomsday. DUBWUBWUBWUB, WUBDUBDUBDUB, DUMDUMUMDUM, WUBWUBWUBWUB!
Hundreds of years ago, a very rich yet eccentric king who was the greatest in the land at enchanting and collecting random pieces of string and red dust was close to his deathbed. He ordered his guards to go across the world, hiding his pieces of trash among powerful magical books and golden apples, to confuse adventurers when they found them, and to plant horrible boxes named Pandora's Boxes to guard his treasures in the tombs of which they laid.
Centuries past and the king and his empire were forgotten to time, but to this day the Boxes continued to produce monstrous creatures that rose out of the caves in swarms, hunting any who dare leave their houses at night. When warriors reached the stony tombs, they found the cages and dubbed them 'spawners', and figured when destroyed, they ceased their creation of the undead. The ancient writings of the king were discovered and soon the tombs were hunted and sought after by any and all who heard of them, despite the horrible risk of the 'spawners'.
Long ago, the species of the player character (let's just call them Minecraftians), ruled a galactic empire in the Minecraft universe. Although they were super advance, they still used swords, bows, and metal armor while their spaceships ran on redstone and they lived in strongholds. The planet that Minecraft is set in is just one of the many backwater outposts of the empire. The planet used to originally belong to pigmen but the Minecraftians killed them all and built the strongholds. Then one day, a great cataclysm destroyed the entire Minecraftian empire, killing trillions of Minecraftians. On this specific planet, many of the Minecraftians were destroyed right off the bat, but many more were killed as the monsters of the planet began to evolve and retake the planet; the kiled Minecraftians came back as zombies and skeletons. The few Minecraftians that were left slowly began to devolve, becoming the villagers.
When the Minecraftian Empire was destroyed however, a few people were able to escape the destruction These Minecraftians were able to keep much of their technology and so they didn't devolve but rather began to reform their empire. They take a soldier and then send them to a planet to kill all hostile life so that the civilians can move in. Your character is one of these soldiers, but has amnesia until they kill the Ender Dragon.
Long ago, when the grass was vibrant and blinding, water was like "Yo, dawg, I wanna be red," but red liquids were already occupied. So the water was like "Man, I guess I'll sett-el fo' o'nge." When the red liquids saw that the water changed to orange, they played some Bob Marely music and invited water to a party. Water is bi-polar, and only enjoyed itself half the time. After many parties, water decided to split in two. One water decided to stay o'nge while the other water went and became blue again. When the red liquid saw that some of the water had stayed to party with them, they felt so happy and merged to become one pulsating on'ge and red liquid called Lava.
Can I use these Myths for a Library-Map I´m making?
Its with bibliocraft so I can sign the books with your names. http://www.minecraft...aft-need-books/
yeah, you can use mine if you want.
Torches, Weapons, And Redstone: A short Historycraft Lesson
Once, not so very long ago, Lived two very powerful witches. their names were Sehtcona and Ayama. Sethcona, whom was pure evil
(actually she wasn't evil at all, she was just scorned at the fact that she lost the love of her life due to a random chunk error that made him fall into the void, which in turn turned sethcona into a giant meanie )
decided that if she wasn't happy no one would be. so she cast her magic (she was a witch with the affinity for earth) across the land. she turned the spiders, whom were once so docile and willingly to speak to the travelers into vicious killing machines when faced with the cover of darkness. she brought the dead and deathly ill back to life and cursed them with an unspeakable spell that made them attack the ones they loved the most and with the last ounce of her magic she made the once still earth turn away from the sun for seven minutes, once every twenty minutes. Distraught by her sisters evil intent Ayama knew she had to do something. First (with her affinity for lightning) she shocked (lightly) all the humans in the world so that they're brains will stimulate. this give them the intelligence to craft weapons, then she took a stick from the earth, an repeatedly shocked it with lightning to create a torch so that people may ward off things that are in the dark. Sadly it was never enough to stop her evil sisters magic. so she gave her life to ensure that her sister would never prevail in making the world experience her pain. she tied her life-force with the world and casted the ultimate electric spell that stated " For every human soul lost to a ghoul or goblin of the night, a piece of their essence shall be stored with in the earth and bound by electricity. this stone shall ( i hope in my dying wishes) help light the way to good hope and give the people the power they need to advance out of the dark and into a greater future"
NOTE::oh yeah, apparently witches can't kill each other with their magic, which is why they didn't kill each other from the get-go
as you probably already know, there are many speculations to wether he actually exists or not. the first sighting or recorded sighting in this case, was made by creepypasta, who claimed to have seen a non-player character with the default skin but empty eyes. he then said to have seen man made structures such as sand pyramids in the ocean or 2x2 tunnels in mountains and rocks. when he posted what he saw, the post was deleted and when he tried again, it was deleted even faster. he received a PM from a user called HEROBRINE which said the word 'stop'. when he tried to look on his page the webpage 404'd. he received emails from others who had seen him too and revealed herobrine to be notches dead brother. he sent an email asking if he had a brother of which he replied saying ' i did, but he is no longer with us. notch-' later notch said he didnt have a brother?! its said herobrine can only be seen on solo play with tiny render distance. also, in the mincon AND wedding photo you can clearly make out herobrine behind notches minecraft character, even though notch had said before herobrine wasnt real? another thing which confuses people is the broken disc 11, which in fact isnt music at all. could this be another clue to herobrines existence? some also say that herobrine might be a coding bug. apperntly the coding bug was something like (7014)herO(7014)Brine, which is herobrine for short. not only that but in emails notch sent a letter saying ' herobrine is not a real thing, however he might be soon!' could notch have then made herobrine a real mob? some one working for mojang also said that 'herobrine was never in minecraft, but some douche probably made a mopd out of it.' creepypasta who made the first sighting had managed to printscreen a photo which you can see on a website or google images. so what do you think?
IS HEROBRINE REAL? OR JUST A FAKE?
Herobrine has always been and will always be nothing but a hoax.
Why do skeletons use bows?
Once upon a rhyme, there once was a man named Hime, and he loved to use the bow. Hime practiced every day using the bow, and one day, a strange wind flew over, and curved his arrow. He always hit at the center of the target, but the wind blew it into another person. It hit the man right in the head, and Hime felt very guilty. He couldn't live with it, so he shot 4 arrows into the air, which made a square. Hime dug out the square and replace the walls with cobble stone. After that, he made his grave with some plants in flower pots. He set them on a chest with some of his horse gear and enchanted books from the town priest, and other memories of his life, and made a small cage. He got himself in the cage, and killed himself. Once he died, he decided he'd train others in the afterlife to use a bow correctly. The word was spread that you could come back as the undead.
An adventurer was wandering on the open plains near a village, when he saw a small dent in the ground near a cave. He went in it, and saw a cage with a old skeleton in it. He banged the cage a few times, and noticed all the mossy cobblestone around the room. There was a chest, with an enchanted book and some horse gear. The adventurer heard a clink, and saw 3 skeletons holding bows right behind him. He tried to attack, and they just fired faster when he got closer, but almost never missed. Hime had done well.

Civilization, where are you?
Once a long time ago, the world was filled with towns and cities. It was full of civilization, technology, and weaponry. Everyone was happy. But, a rich man, Seth, ruled them all. He was like a dictator, so all of people tried to hide from him. But they are no match for the dictator. They became slaves, they have no chance of escaping. Not one percent.
Until one day, a person, Steve, had enough of it. He escaped, yes. he did. Seth's troops tried to kill him, but no, Steve escaped, 100 percent. He made a rebellion, he fought and fought. Until the dictation was gone, and so did the civilization.
And now, it's time. For steve, to create another one.
Also, creepers are actually more like a comical/child-friendly version of a real-life rapist. They silently come up behind you, then 'explode', then kill you. They even have the same name.

The End of an Era: The story behind Endermen, the End, and the Enderdragon.
Long before the humans we now of today thrived on the planet, there lived a "sub-species" of humans. They were much taller than humans, and could pick up things easily. They eventually headed underground, and made temples to worship their god, "Endaricle". According to legend, Endaricle will consume the planet in dark skies, and kill off all plant and animal life if he is not pleased. To please their god, they sacrifice animals to Endaricle through a ring over a pool of lava.
However, their reign soon came to an end. The sub-species humans were almost completey wiped out by the vicous monsters of the night. The remaining survivors prayed to Endaricle to sacrifice their race, and take all of their fallen souls to a save haven. They then fell through the sacrifce ring, and into the pool of lava, where their skin was chared to a blackish color.
Endaricle answered their prayers, and created "The End", where all of the fallen sub-species humans could live after they died. When they entered, they were granted with teleportation by their god, who took form as a dragon. They are also called "Endermen", by Endaricle as well. Endermen now roam the overworld occasionly, by when they look into the eyes of humans, they are reminded of the vicous monsters that killed them off, and are filled with rage.
It's rumoured that on a long-lost server, somewhere far away outside of rendering, there is a small tribe of people. They live their lives, unaware of the outside world, but just going along as normal people would.
Except for one thing...
One strange, mysterious thing, that sets these people apart from anybody else...
And that mysterious thing is that not a single person...
Not a single person in that little, isolated tribe...
Then why did they say they removed it in the Red Stone Update 1.5!
Because that is a running gag? It's a joke. Same as "THE CAKE IS A LIE!" in portal. Yes. It has been proven you can get to the cake. But would the original portal be as funny and great without it? No!

I'm a pixel artist who makes pixel things and maps! I also do line art occasionally.
I have two work in progress resource packs!
This is the second one!
And of course, by "work-in-progress" I mean "will never, ever be completed".
When the Minecraftian Empire was destroyed however, a few people were able to escape the destruction These Minecraftians were able to keep much of their technology and so they didn't devolve but rather began to reform their empire. They take a soldier and then send them to a planet to kill all hostile life so that the civilians can move in. Your character is one of these soldiers, but has amnesia until they kill the Ender Dragon.
And that's how I met your mother.
